I ran a carfax on my boxster before I bought it and it did not show a bunch of important details about my particular car such as:

Engine replacement
damage repair to the front end of the car

It did show the title changes from owner to owner and dealer to wholesaler and auctions, etc. But that's about all it was good for.

My brother's Lexus was in the dealer's body shop for five week after it was flooded out... damage to interior and motor... he ran a carfax on it just to see if it showed up and the flood damage and repair was not to be found!

I no longer trust Carfax reports. They're only good as a title search.
